Voted "Best New Restaurant" by Harrisburg Magazine in 2009, Piazza Sorrento is a modern Italian restaurant based on the "Old World" Italian recipes of the owner's family back in Italy. The Bolognese sauce they grew up on and the tradition of family is the cornerstone of the Piazza Sorrento dining experience. Dedicated to providing the finest in service, food, and wine at a fair and competitive price, Piazza Sorrento makes regional and classic Italian cuisine using premium local ingredients while keeping the history of the dish and region intact.

Piazza Sorrento not only provides the best in authentic Italian cooking this side of the Atlantic, but also believes that all patrons, whether adults or children, should be welcomed like one big family - even those with certain dietary requirements. That is why Piazza Sorrento is widely known for their extensive Gluten Free menu, another reason patrons routinely drive over an hour or more to dine in relative ease and safety.

We ordered 3 entrees. One was very good, one was good, and one was not very good. Honestly, it seemed to be leftover and microwaved. Two desserts. One very good and one mediocre. Our server, Kaitlyn, was excellent. The music selection was eclectic.

They closed off the pizza /quick service section to increase dining room space, but it was soon poorly and was very crowded with no room to move. Our waitress was patient with our 3 year old but a bit flighty and didn’t bring his requests in a timely manner. Food was ok, but we chose standard pasta dishes and not any of the specials which looked wonderful. Since we were with a preschooler, we opted for standard pasta dishes that would heat up well at home in case we had to leave mid-meal.
